    My husband and I love to go out to eat. But when we are looking to spend a quiet evening at home, I like to whip up a delicious and easy dinner.

    Seafood is tops on our list of favorites including Lemon and Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi, Mussels Marinara, and Baked Salmon with a Creamy Coconut Sauce.

    This baked shrimp with feta and tomatoes dish has all the flavor of a restaurant quality dish without the added expense of dining out. When making a delicious entrée is so simple, it's just as easy to eat at home.

    Baked Feta and Tomato Shrimp is loaded with garlic panko crumbs, fire roasted tomatoes, jumbo shrimp, and salty feta cheese. The dish bakes in about 15 minutes too. With a loaf of crusty bread and a salad of mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette, dinner is complete.

    My husband says that if this dish was on a restaurant menu, he would order it every time!

    chef cooking tips

    • The vast majority of shrimp sold at the grocery store or fish market is frozen at sea. If there is shrimp in the display counter, it was most likely thawed frozen shrimp. To be on the safe side, pick up a bag of frozen shrimp and thaw it yourself. Scroll down for some tips on how to quickly and safely thaw shrimp.
    • There's no need to sauté the garlic in the butter. You just want to infuse the butter with the delicious garlicky flavor. After the butter melts and just starts to foam, turn off the heat and add the garlic. Give it all a good stir and let it sit for about a minute.
    • Fire roasted diced tomatoes are one of my go-to ingredients. Be sure to pick up a can at the grocery store. They add a fabulous smoky flavor to the baked shrimp and feta dish.

    how to thaw frozen shrimp

    "Fresh" shrimp at the grocery store of fish market is probably not fresh.

    Most shrimp is frozen at sea as soon as it is caught. So that shrimp you see in the fish counter is most likely thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long that shrimp has been on display. It's best to to pick up a bag or 2 of frozen shrimp and thaw it yourself.

    Place frozen shrimp in a large bowl and add cold water. Give the shrimp a good swish. Then just wait about 15 to 20 minutes and the shrimp should be ready to use.

    Drain, peel, and devein the shrimp. Place the peeled shrimp on a couple sheets to paper towels. It's best to cook with dry shrimp so the paper towels will soak up any excess water.
